Never understood why this forum is so dead compared to the football one. The NFL gets through what, 3 or 4 threads a season and there must be thousands of American football fans on Neo.

Part of it must be down to multiple sports being jammed together in one place. I do think it would help fuel discussion to have subforums for some of the more popular ones (American footbal, hockey, basketball, baseball, or just 1 of them as a trial for a bit), even tho they aren't that active in here.

I don't have any suggestions for this forum which doesn't make this post very useful but you need to find a way to persuade people to talk about sports like Cricket and F1 in this forum rather than the local ones or the lounges.

What is the point in having a Thread Index when the Search Function works again? Seems pointless.

EDIT: And the Sports forum used to flourish before the Super Mods became crybabies and complained about us being too "vulgar" and "aggressive". The community here was arguably the best on the site until it got torn down with permabans and restrictions.

Maybe but the thread index does have everything together and is more organised/new user friendly. Just thought it would be a help because this place looks a bit disorganised sometimes and off putting for certain members of the site. That's how I felt sometimes whenever I was posting.

It's a tough job to do that alright Sweeney, it's hard to get people out of old habits. But at least if I try to encourage some people from other forums to post here on said topics and give them the clear threads to post in them. Can't make people post here but you can give them the option.

F1 thread is a good call, don't see one here anywhere on the first 15 pages.

Also, I'd like to throw out Re: "the Vulgarity", I personally have no problems with heated debates/arguments, as long as they don't involve two people straight up flaming each other. I haven't talked to Mycon about it yet, seeing as my activity is limited for another week, but I'm sure he won't object to people debating which player is better, or anything like that.

Thread indexes are a great idea. Because it puts all the important threads in some kind of rational order. I think it is cool to have an at-a-glance thread where you can see all the pertinent threads listed out.
